Metal production Robust measurement technology For decades, the robust measurement technology from VEGA has proven itself in all areas of metal production. From ore processing to the blast furnace: VEGA instruments are designed to meet the application conditions expected. Special versions of the sensors can resist process temperatures up to 1400 °C. Quality pays off In order to withstand the harsh operating conditions common in metal production, the sensors have to be of the highest quality. Their robust design ensures a long service life and high investment payback. Simple handling VEGA...

plics® − easy is better Instrument platform plics® The plics® idea is simple: Each instrument is assembled from prefabricated components once the order is received. This modular design allows full flexibility when selecting the required sensor features. You receive your customised, user-friendly instrument within an amazingly short time. The best part: these instruments are more cost-effective and advantageous in every way – throughout their entire life cycle. Display and adjustment The display and adjustment module PLICSCOM is used for measured value indication, adjustment and diagnosis...

Crusher Reliable Level measurement in the crusher Reliable measurement even To be able to transport and further process the largest possible production during filling Cost effective Optimal utilization of the container volume volumes, the ore must have an optimal size. To achieve this, the ore is crushed to the correct size in two stages, in a primary and then a secondary crusher. In order to enable an optimum throughput, and avoid choking or damaging the crusher, a reliable level measurement is required. User friendly Simple mounting and setup VEGAPULS 69 Non-contact level measurement with...

Reliable Reliable operation under all operating conditions Cost effective Maintenance-free operation of the facility Ore storage silo Level measurement and point level detection in ore storage silos Mined ore is transported via conveyor systems to large above ground or underground silos and stored there until it is used in production. A reliable level measurement is required to determine the contents of the silos. User friendly Simple mounting and setup VEGAPULS 69 Non-contact level measurement with radar in the ore storage silo ■ Reliable measurement, unaffected by dust ■ Easy alignment of...

Conveyor belt Reliable Mass flow measurement on conveyor belts Reliable measurement despite Bulk aggregates are fed into production processes via conveyor belts or changing belt tension and vibrations Cost effective Optimal mass flow measurement allows exact accounting of bulk screw conveyors. For effective feed control to and from these processes, or inter-production unit billing, the mass flow of the conveyed bulk material must be measured. A reliable belt-weighing scale system and mass flow rate ensures accurate measurement and smooth operation of the plant. solids User friendly...

Reliable Reliable measurement in corrosive gases Cost effective Maintenance-free operation User friendly Simple installation and setup Coke oven Pressure measurement in the coke oven Coke provides the necessary process heat, serves as a metal reducing agent and is a supporting matrix in the blast furnace. To achieve a high quality coke, the pressures in each of the separate ovens of a coking plant are individually regulated. VEGABAR 82 Pressure transmitter for pressure monitoring in coke ovens ■ High durability thanks to CERTEC® ceramic measuring cell ■ Exact measurement even in very small...

Sintering plant Reliable Level measurement in the sintering plant Reliable measurement ensures After sintering, the hot material is cooled down to a temperature of about optimal process flow Cost effective Maintenance-free measurement despite high temperatures 150 °C in the sintering cooler. The feed rate of the sintering belt is controlled to ensure that the material is thrown off at the end of the sintering belt. To achieve effective cooling, the thickness of the material on the sintering belt has to be continuously and precisely measured. User friendly Simple mounting and setup VEGAPULS...

Reliable Reliable measurement even during filling Cost effective Optimal operation of the furnace Blast furnace Level measurement in the blast furnace Burden (iron-bearing materials) and coke are transported from the bunker to the top of the blast furnace. The charging of the furnace is done via conveyor belts or small aggregate wagons. To ensure an optimal distribution of the burden and coke layers, exact level measurement is required. User friendly Simple mounting and setup VEGAPULS 68 Non-contact level measurement with radar in blast furnaces ■ Reliable measurement, independent of dust,...
